Kamath", "Nithya Muraleedharan" ], "comment": "9 pages", "categories": [ "math.CO" ], "abstract": "A set $D$ of vertices in a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a degree restricted dominating set for $G$ if each vertex $v_i$ in $D$ is dominating atmost $g(d_i)$ vertices of $V-D$, where $g$ is a function restricting the degree value $d_i$ with respect to the given function value $k_i$ for a natural valued function $f$ from the vertex set of the graph. We define three different types of Degree Restricted Domination by varying the way how the restricted function $g(v_i)$ is defined. If $g(d_i)=\\big\\lceil \\frac{d_i}{k_i}\\big\\rceil$, the corresponding domination is called the ceil degree restricted domination, in short, $CDRD$, and the dominating set obtained in this manner is the $CDRD$-set. If $g(d_i)=\\big\\lfloor\\frac{d_i}{k_i}\\big\\rfloor$ or $g(d_i)=d_i-k_i+1$, then the corresponding dominations are respectively called the floor degree restricted domination, in short $FDRD$, or the translate degree restricted domination, $TDRD$. The dominating sets obtained in this manner are the $FDRD$-set and the $TDRD$-set respectively. In this paper, we introduce these new generalizations of the domination number in line with the different $DRD$-sets and study these types of domination for some classes of graphs like complete graphs, caterpillar graphs etc. Degree restricted domination has a vital role in retaining the efficiency of nodes in a network and has many interesting applications.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-05-27T16:21:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C07", "05C69" ], "keywords": [ "generalizations", "restrictions", "corresponding domination", "ceil degree restricted domination", "floor degree restricted domination" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
